On the Construction of Generalised Bobillier Formula

Abstract

In this study, we consider the generalized complex number system $C_{\rm{p}} = \left\{ {x + iy\;:\;x,y \in R,\;{i^2} = {\rm{p}} \in R} \right\}$ corresponding to elliptical complex number, parabolic complex number and hyperbolic complex number systems for the special cases of ${\rm{p}} < 0,\;{\rm{p}} = 0,\;{\rm{p}} > 0$, respectively. This system is used to derive Bobillier Formula in the generalized complex plane. In accordance with this purpose we obtain this formula by two different methods for one-parameter planar motion in ${C_{\rm{p}}}$; the first method depends on using the geometrical interpretation of the generalized Euler-Savary formula and the second one uses the usual relations of the velocities and accelerations.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
